Hope. Pursuit. Healing.
Welcome to
Aligned Hope Counseling
My counseling approach focuses on aligning with you to help you find hope and satisfaction within your life and relationships. I can help guide you to discover a way to heal from past traumas, to find hope in yourself, and to get to a point where you are self sustaining and able to move forward.
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Heather Vandenbark
Hello, I’m Heather. I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina, and almost done getting the premier Gottman Method certification for couples and marital counseling. I have two young children and have been married to my high school sweetheart for ten years.
Over my eight year professional career, I have worked with a wide variety of people from 2 years old to 82 years old. I enjoy and am available to help couples, families, and individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs – but I specialize in couples counseling, and enjoy bringing a Christian perspective if that is an option you prefer.

Our
Prices
I recognize that quality counseling is an investment of trust, time, and money. I offer longer than standard couples intake sessions, as I’ve learned that 60 minutes just isn’t enough time to have a good first session without being rushed.
Couples
| 90 Minute Intake Session | $140 | |
| Full 60 Minute Session | $120 |
Individual
| 60 Minute Intake Session | $120 | |
| Regular 60 Minute Session | $110 |
Classes
| 2 Hr. Couples Communication Workshop | $60 per couple | |

If these prices are out of reach for you, please connect and we may be able to work something out. If you are motivated and willing to work, price doesn’t have to be a barrier to healing.
We are out-of-network for all insurance however we will provide you with a receipt after payment if you care to submit it to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement.
